Its an alba? I thought it was just a regular phal. Love cp's, but can't get over how beautiful the flower structure is on phals. [img]http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ya the ones with almost pure white flowers like that are called, alba. There are a coulpe other things like that. Like candy stripes ( I think thats what its called) were they put pink stripes on the flowers. Some them look really nice. Next you should buy a Vanda.....

Congrats on the new phal, Larry. [img]http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif[/img] I can't see the pic though. [img]http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif[/img]

Phals are nice orchids with lots of beautiful flower types. And not hard to grow. You should have blooms for a couple of months...depending on how long its been in bloom before you got it.

I think you should try a paphiopedilum...the ladyslipper type orchids are just beautiful. Well, all orchids are beautiful but they are one of my personal favorites.
